Frequently Asked Questions

Does Greenbelt foot traffic tell me how full my Boise rental will run?

No. The Greenbelt is a strong visitor draw along the river, but headcount there is not the same as occupancy. Boise's actual occupancy over the trailing twelve months (August 2025–July 2026) was 47.8 percent across 1,268 active rentals, with average revenue of about $25,127 per listing. Use the AirROI figures for pricing, and the Greenbelt for marketing copy.

Is North End charm the same as high occupancy?

No — the North End is landscape and neighborhood character, which supports why guests choose Boise over a suburb, but it isn't an occupancy dataset. Boise's occupancy figure from the current extract is 47.8 percent, and that's the number that should drive pricing decisions, not a neighborhood's visual appeal.

What did a typical Boise rental earn last year?

About $25,127 over the trailing twelve months from August 2025 through July 2026, across 1,268 active rentals. Average nightly rate was $195, occupancy 47.8 percent, and revenue per available night $94. Revenue was roughly flat year-over-year at minus 0.3 percent, while active supply grew 10.3 percent.

Does downtown Boise's visitor traffic explain rental demand by itself?

Downtown traffic is a real demand signal — it's part of why guests choose a Boise stay — but it isn't the extract itself. The revenue and occupancy figures cited above come from actual listing data, not visitor counts. Cite downtown draw as context for your marketing copy, and cite AirROI's figures for your pricing.

Is campus activity around Boise State the same as this year's ADR?

No. Campus weeks bring visitor traffic that can support demand, but they don't set the average daily rate on their own. Boise's ADR from the current extract is $195. Use campus event dates as a reason to adjust pricing around specific weeks, not as a substitute for the baseline figure.

When is Boise's tourism and rental season strongest?

June is the busiest month, with August and May also running strong; January is the slowest, and occupancy is weakest specifically in July. That pattern tracks Boise's own downtown and North End calendar rather than a generic Idaho tourism season.

Is Meridian's tourism data the same as Boise's?

No, Meridian is a different hall with its own calendar and its own AirROI year — separate from Boise's $25,127 figure. Don't blend visitor or occupancy data across the two cities even though they sit close together in the Treasure Valley.

Does Eagle share Boise's tourism calendar?

No, Eagle runs on its own calendar as well, distinct from both Boise and Meridian. Keep each city's visitor-demand narrative and its occupancy figures on separate lines rather than assuming a shared Treasure Valley pattern.

Should a broker memo use visitor photos as proof of occupancy?

No — treating visitor photos of the Greenbelt or downtown as if they demonstrate occupancy is a common but misleading shortcut. Photos support the demand story; the 47.8 percent occupancy and $25,127 revenue figures are what actually price the calendar. Keep the two separate in any packet you build.

Who books a Boise short-term rental?

Most guests arrive from within Boise itself, then Portland, staying an average of 6.6 nights and booking about 42 days ahead. That's a city-center and North End guest profile tied to downtown attractions and the Greenbelt, distinct from a Meridian or Eagle suburb booking.
